8-9.5-7-5. Ordinances; Introduction of Proposed Draft; Notice

Sec. 5. (a) A member of the commission may introduce a proposed draft of an ordinance at a meeting of the commission. A person who introduces a proposed draft of an ordinance shall provide at the time of introduction a written copy of the proposed draft. The commission shall assign to each proposed draft of an ordinance a distinguishing number, and the date when introduced.
(b) Not more than seven (7) days after the introduction of a proposed draft of an ordinance nor less than seven (7) days before the final passage of a proposed draft of an ordinance, the commission shall publish a notice that the proposed ordinance is pending final action by the commission. The notice shall be published one (1) time in each of two (2) daily newspapers which have a general circulation in the jurisdiction of the commission.
(c) The commission shall include in the notice reference to the subject matter of the proposed ordinance and the time and place hearing will be held thereon and shall indicate that the proposed draft of an ordinance is available for public inspection at the office of the commission. The commission may include in one (1) notice a reference to the subject matter of each draft of an ordinance which is pending and for which notice has not been given.
(d) An ordinance shall not be invalid because the reference to the subject matter of the draft of an ordinance was inadequate if sufficient to advise the public of the general subject matter of the proposed ordinance.
(e) The commission shall not later than the date of notice of the introduction of a proposed ordinance place five (5) copies of the proposed draft on file in the office of the commission for public inspection.
(f) At a meeting for which notice has been given as required by this section, the commission may take final action on the proposed ordinance or may postpone final consideration thereof to a designated meeting in the future without giving additional notice.
